  Some years ago I read an account on this site about a sister who arranged to meet N H Knorr at a convention some time after Rutherford died in 1942. She told him of Rutherford's "going's on" but Knorr said they had known about it for many years and should have done something then but didn't. It was too late after his death so they should "leave it to Jehovah".

  My parents became JW's just after Rutherford's death and his influence carried on for many years. Children such as myself were never allowed to have vaccinations against Polio, Diphtheria and Whooping Cough, and aluminium cooking pans were taboo. As BB said, the old ones, my parents included, would never believe any of this, just put it down to them apostate lies!

  Boris Johnson must resign

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. current

  on may 20, 2020, boris johnson's private secretary sent out an e-mail to 100 staff asking them to enjoy the sunshine in the downing street garden, adding they could bring their own bottle.. at the time the uk was under a harsh covid lockdown - people could meet up with up to six members of their own household, and only with one person from another household, socially-distanced of course.

  the prime minister attended this party for 25 minutes but his excuse yesterday at pmqs was that he thought it was a work event.

  as excuses go, this one is right up there with 'the dog ate my homework', lol.. boris johnson must resign - if you force harsh rules on people but break those same rules yourself, it's surely game over.. his private secretary should go, too..

  problem is--who would be next ?

  Stan just summed it up. JRM maybe? It's difficult to find anyone suitable. The reason we have a Conservative government at all is because the alternative is totally unthinkable.

  Of course there's always Nigel Farrage but I think he's lost interest in politics!

  My Prediction Regarding New Space Telescope That Will See Back to 100 Million Years From the Big Bang

  by Sea Breeze in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  a new space telescope launched a few days age that will supposedly be able to see to within 100 million years of the big bang.

  wow... only 100 million years from the big bang.

  that is pretty early given the 12 billion year age of the universe assigned by scholars who adhere to naturalism.

  Don't forget Rutherford said that rockets would never be able to leave the earth's atmosphere as they would have nothing to push against.

  Nothing the WTB&TS and the goons on the GB have to say on the subject of science is worth considering.

  Two elders i know personally are under 30. The younger one is 25 and was appointed about 2 years ago, the other is just about 30 and has been an elder for 3 or 4 years. They have to appoint these youngsters as the majority of our elders are well over 70 and no longer have the health and energy they used to have.

  The Watchtowers

  by BluesBrother in

  2. bible

  edit .. i messed up the title, on this touchscreen tablet and now i can’t edit it !

  the title should be “ the watchtower’s (sort of) apology for 1975 ….. sorry.

  january 1st 1976, i remember that day when i heard a radio disc jockey gleefully announce that the world had not ended as jehovah’s witnesses had said it would .

  Our Kingdom Ministry - May 1974 - "How are you using your life?"

  Reports are heard of brothers selling their homes and property and planning to finish out the rest of their days in this old system in the pioneer service. Certainly this is a fine way to spend the short time remaining before the wicked world’s end.​—1 John 2:17.

  Should young children peddle Watchtower Society literature?

  by RULES & REGULATIONS in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  one thing i always disliked about the watchtower society is how they use young children tp peddle their literature.

  my mom insisted that my brother (12 years old) and i (9 years old) go out in field service every saturday morning.

  didn't matter if it was 90 degrees or 20 degrees, we were out peddling watchtower magazines.

  Each child, when he grows older, can then make an informed decision about whether to adopt his parents’ faith.

  That may be true but if he/she chooses not to be a JW then as soon as they are legally adult (18 in UK) the parents will be expected to boot them out. That was made very clear in a convention video a couple of years ago. Phone home if you're in trouble, don't expect your call to be answered. Having been raised in a family where you are strongly discouraged from forming non-JW friendships you are going to be very lonely. Chances are you have been similarly discouraged from a University education so that will affect your future finances. So, yes you can leave but we will make life as hellish as possible!

  Can Jehovah's Witnesses explain the overlapping generation?

  by pistolpete in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i found this interesting topic on the current views among jws regarding the overlapping generation.. the posts are hilarious.

  how do most jehovah's witnesses explain the overlapping generation?.

  i've asked a couple of jws to explain the overlapping generation and they directed me to the website jw------org.. either they don't know, or they do know but don't want to discuss it because they know it's bogus and embarrassing.. either way, surely they must know that this just extended the last days another 80 years from the time fred franz died.

  Many JW's could probably RECITE it which is very different from EXPLAINING it.

  The same is true of most doctrines.

  We are now around 25 years past the point when Armageddon was to arrive as PROMISED!

  absolute worst case scenario, the last of the generation that saw the events of 1914 would have died off would be in the mid to late 1990's!

  so we were told in the 1980's!

  so now we 3/4 of another generation past that!.

  My parents were married during the war and became JW's shortly after. Little George would never have to go to school in this old system. Well George did go to school, still has his Coronation Bible and mug but at least he would never leave school, have to get a job or marry in this system.

  Well guess what, he left school, got married and saw 1975 come and go along with "this millennium" during which the end was supposed to come according to the 1989 (?) WT.

  I suppose the only good thing to this is over 50 years of happy married life and waking up each morning knowing he ignored the "don't go to university" advice such as the 1969 Awake said and so doesn't depend on Satan's Old System DSS to get through each month.

  The real big awakening though was realising that I will die in the not too distant future. Non JW's have always understood this and accept it.
